SKIP TO 20:30 FOR THE IMPORTANT STEPS TO MAKE SURE YOUR ZiP ACTION IS PROPERLY ALIGNED. From ZiP: "When you get your kit please follow these helpful tips: (also reference ZiP Manual section pg 30-41) When it comes time to re-install the action rods....(Load and Re-Strike).. please do not have the Barrel Nut fully tightened. Barrel nut should be 1/2 turn from bottom. Then start with the load rod......Turn screw to bottom BUT DO NOT TIGHTEN yet. Try the action- should be "slippery". Install the Re-strike rod, and do the same. Only when you like the compression and tracking of the action do you set the Barrel Nut. Tighten the barrel nut with fingers to bottom... then - with wrench ...(std top) only snug up about 1/10 turn to sung. Try action again to confirm its still smooth. NOW tighten Bolt Screws both about 1/3 turn past bottom. If you feel binding at this point - just "break tension on the screw" on either rod and look at the end of the diamond shape as it sits in the body. It can touch but optimally you want that clear of friction. Continue to re-build as normal (Striker system, etc)" Support the channel, get free stuff, join live streams, gain early access, and more! https://www.patreon.com/JeremyGunsGear Support the channel, get free stuff, join live streams, gain early access, and more! https://www.patreon.com/JeremyGunsGear ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulU6IGF60aY

Full write-up on TTAG here: http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2013/06/daniel-zimmerman/obscure-object-of-desire-tanfoglio-mossad/ If you know anything about the history yourself or can point to some documented history about these Tanfoglio MOSSAD pistols, please put it in the comments or send me a message! ...I'm going to ask some Israelis whom I know, and hopefully I can nail down something a bit more solid in the near future... Enjoy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- History on this pistol is pretty thin. I was never really able to lock anything down, unfortunately, and reports are varied. Apparently, before Israel was producing any of its own pistols (before IMI was), it contracted with Italian firm Tanfoglio (that's Tan-FO-lio), manufacturers of high quality CZ clones. In fact, IMI's first Jericho pistol was built mostly using parts made by Tanfoglio. That's the solid history. Now, the Israeli Mossad is akin to the U.S.' CIA -- intelligence gathering, including legit spies, and trying to deny that they do "wet work." Many people claim that this series of Tanfoglio-manufactured "MOSSAD" pistols was issued to Mossad agents for their personal, daily protection use. These pistols were NOT used on "missions" of any sort (though some owners like to claim otherwise). This seems pretty obvious, as that would be about as likely as CIA agents carrying guns that said "CIA" on them during ops. However, some people say these guns really had nothing to do with the Mossad at all, and that they were issued to police and available for purchase by civilians. So this is the shaky history -- what/who these specific guns were actually for. Maybe it was both Mossad and police, and then later sold to the public as surplus. Who knows. Certainly some were imported into the U.S. as surplus, and one eventually found its way to me. Only some of these pistols have this "Israel Shooting Association" crest on them. I think this almost certainly proves civilian ownership at some point. Maybe the Israel Shooting Association purchased them surplus from the Mossad/police? Again, I just don't know. If you're familiar with the CZ 75, you would be familiar with this pistol. It has a firing pin block like a CZ 75B, and 75B magazines fit and function flawlessly in it. There is a minor difference in the mag release setup, which actually involves the trigger bar a bit, but the rest of the parts look basically identical. I can completely detail strip this gun and completely detail strip my CZ 75 SP-01, and not notice a real difference in any of the other parts, pieces, or process. Yet almost none of the parts can be swapped between the two guns. Most of them are different in such small ways that it isn't noticeab ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_k2SFPtXz6E
